“Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand have stood together in the long struggle for freedom for decades. We have a responsibility to the people of Hong Kong to support them as they struggle to maintain the freedom that was guaranteed to them by Beijing in 1984.”

“I'm not afraid to fight for things I believe in, and I'm not afraid to respect people that have another point of view.”
